Laptop power on/off, on/off and so on.
I have a Hp Amd Turion 1.59 GHZ and 1.96 GB of RAM. I do not know if this is a hardware problem because I' am a computer clue less. But here it goes....
When I turn on my laptop it stays on for 5 seconds, then it goes off for 5 seconds and it keeps on doing that until I push the power button and hold it down till it goes off. When I say my computer goes on/off the lights on my computer go on but the screen never does. It goes on for hours and hours, then try again and it comes on normally. Someone please help.
